Kevon Stay On Lotion may have the following common side effects:

Burning sensation: This can be a feeling of heat or pain, similar to being burnt, at the application site.
Stinging sensation: This is a sharp pain, like a sting, at the place where you use the lotion.
Skin redness
Itching
Dryness of skin

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Kevon Stay On Lotion. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Burning sensation: If this occurs, try applying a cool compress to the area after you apply Kevon Stay On Lotion.
Itching: Consider applying lotion in the evening so that itching does not disturb your usual activities during the day.

Kevon Stay On Lotion contains Ketoconazole (2%). Here's how it works:

Interrupts Ergosterol Synthesis: Ketoconazole blocks a particular enzyme (lanosterol 14α-demethylase) in the fungi. This enzyme plays a crucial role in making ergosterol, which is an essential component of the fungal cell membranes.
Destabilised Fungal Cell Membranes: With ketoconazole interrupting the production of ergosterol, the fungal cell membranes become unstable and porous. This causes leakage of cellular contents, leading to the death of fungal cells, and helps in managing the infection.

Pregnancy

If you're pregnant, be cautious while using Kevon Stay On Lotion. Before starting this medicine, it's best to consult with your doctor.

Breastfeeding

Caution is recommended when using this medicine for breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

The interaction of alcohol with this topical medicine is rarely significant. However, if in doubt, consulting your doctor is always a good idea.

Liver

If you have liver problems, it's important to be cautious while using Kevon Stay On Lotion. This medicine can occasionally cause liver enzyme elevations. Discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Kidney health issues are generally not a concern when using this topical lotion because systemic absorption is minimal. Still, if you have any kidney problems, consult with your doctor beforehand.

Using Machines & Driving

As Kevon Stay On Lotion is a skin application, it doesn't usually interfere with your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Allergy

If you're allergic to ketoconazole or any other ingredients of the lotion, avoid using Kevon Stay On Lotion.

Children

This medicine should be used in children under 12 years of age only under the guidance of a doctor.

Older Patients

Corticosteroids: Avoid applying any topical corticosteroids like hydrocortisone or betamethasone on the same area where you use Kevon Stay On Lotion. These medicines can potentially aggravate fungal infections.

Kevon Stay On Lotion, being a topical medication, does not have any known interactions with food items.

Drug-Disease Interactions

If you accidentally apply more Kevon Stay On Lotion than prescribed, you might experience mild skin irritation or redness. In such cases, rinse the skin area with cool water. If these symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to apply Kevon Stay On Lotion, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Kevon Stay On Lotion in a cool, dry spot below 30°C.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Ensure the tube is tightly closed after each use to prevent air exposure.
It's important to keep this medicine out of reach of children.

Maintain good personal hygiene practices such as regular washing and drying of the skin, especially the feet, grin and areas where you apply Kevon Stay On Lotion. This can help manage fungal skin infections.
Wear breathable clothing and avoid tight-fitting clothes or shoes that may trap sweat and moisture, creating an ideal environment for fungi to grow.
